← GeographyWhich environmental impact intensifies when deflation removes loess deposits?
A)Nutrient-depleted farmland expansion✓
B)Increased orographic precipitation
C)Reduced heat island formation
D)Decreased coastal erosion rates
💡 Explanation
The removal of loess by deflation exposes underlying, less fertile soil because the mineral composition and soil structure are disturbed by this mechanism. Therefore, available plant nutrient levels are greatly reduced, rather than increasing other beneficial outcomes.
